Addressing Digestive Distress in Stomachs of Our Youth Act

This bill (S 2943) amends the National School Lunch Act to require schools to provide fluid milk substitutes for students with medical or special dietary needs, including those not classified as disabilities. It updates the criteria for acceptable substitutes to align with the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The bill simplifies the approval process by allowing substitutions based on a written statement from a medical authority or the student/parent, removing prior requirements for school notifications and detailed medical documentation.
